T0 (0Z6 whom it may concern.-

To this end my invention consists in the feature of construction and combination hereinafter specifically described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of the specification, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved supporting-stand, and Fig. 2 is a top view of the same.

A represents the base of the stand, preferably constructed, as shown, in the form of a metal ring having an inward bend 2 in the rear side to conform with the side of the pump or barrel. Secured to the opposite side of the base-ring A is the standard B, formed on its outer edge with serrations or teeth 3.

0 represents an adjustable support for the jug or other receptacle, which consists of a ring secured in the casing 41:, inclosing the standard B. The casing and ring 0 are held in adjusted position upon the standard by means of the dog 5, having fulcrum-support 6 and engaging at its lower end 7 with the teeth 3, the lower end of the dog being held in engagement with the teeth by a spring 8,

interposed between the upper end of the dog and casing. By turning the dog out of en- Serial No. 53,885. (No model.)
